Man United reopen their training ground
Manchester United have reopened their training ground after it was closed because of a rise
in coronavirus cases.
United shut the first-team section of their Carrington facility last week and had top-flight games against Brentford
and Brighton postponed.
On Monday, Premier League and English Football League clubs chose to fulfil festive fixtures despite ongoing
Covid-19 disruption.
“Unfortunately, the games against Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion were postponed as the club had no option but
to request that the matches were rearranged,” said a Manchester United statement.
“The Premier League board took the decision to call the fixtures off, based on guidance from medical advisors.”
It added the reopening will give interim manager Ralf Rangnick and his squad time to prepare for their next fixture against
Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Monday, 27 December.
